STRUGGLING IN THE CHRYSALIS OF FAITH

 OUT OF THE 20 OR SO CAMERAS AT THIS SAME LOCATION NO ONE CAPTURED THE HEART...I WAS AMAZED AND SO WERE THEY...I HAVE TAKEN APPROX 10 OTHER PICS WITH THE HEART IN THE PHOTO...SOME SAY IT IS MY LENSE IS FAULTY...MY FAITH SOARS WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PICS...IF THAT IS THE HEART OF GOD I AM TRUELY BLESSED...WHY DO NON- BELIEVERS ALWAYS LOOK FOR A REASON FOR GODS LOVE ?...

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE AND HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN GOD ?...YOU CAN SEE HIS WORK EVERYWHERE...WHEN WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH US IT IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO STAY FOCUSED ON OUR SALVATION...THE DEVIL IS A "NOW" AND DECEITFUL BEING WHO HAS TRICKED THE WORLD MANY TIMES IN MANY WAYS...HE KNOWS HE IS DEFEATED...TAKING AS MANY PEOPLE DOWN WITH HIM IS HIS LAST DITCH EFFORT TO THWART GOD...THE DEVIL WILL NEVER EVER BE IN THE GLORY OF GOD HE IS FOREVER BANISHED FROM GODS LOVE AND MERCY...

THESE ARE EASY WORDS TO SAY...THEY ALSO REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FAITH IN JESUS AND HIS FATHER GOD...TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO FILL THE GAP AND STAND STRONG IN THE FACE OF DEMONIC ATTACK (LIES, DECEIT, AND FEAR OF HARM)...WE ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE THAT WILL NOT FALTER AND STAND FOR GOD AND THE TRUTH OF HIS WORD...JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH YOU AND READY TO AID YOU...MY CHRYSALIS IS MY SAFE PLACE WHILE I LEARN TO TRUST GOD IN EVERYTHING...AT A CHOSEN TIME I MUST BREAK FREE AND FLY WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD...IF I STAY WRAPPED UP FOR TOO LONG I WILL DIE A NON-BELIEVER...ONCE I EMERGE AS A TRUE CHILD OF GOD THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO SAFETY...THE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF RETURNING MY OPEN MIND BACK TO MY SMALL THINKING...IT WILL NOT FIT NOR SHOULD I WANT IT TOO...I FIND GREAT JOY IN WATCHING A BUTTERFLY MOVE WITH GRACE AND BEAUTY...I IN TURN WILL TRY TO SHOW OTHERS THE GOD IN ME AND LOVE AND HELP MY BROTHER WHEN I CAN...BY SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S KINGDOM I WILL TAKE MY PLACE BESIDE JESUS AS A SPIRITUAL BEING ON A CARNAL WORLD...BAPTISM AND GOD GIVEN SPIRIT, FAITH, GRACE, OBEYING GODS LAW, WILL LEAD ME TO BE BORN AGAIN WHEN JESUS RETURNS TO CLAIM HIS RIGHT...

HOW BAD CAN IT HURT...

I HOPE TO GET BACK TO THIS SOON...RIGHT NOW ALL I CAN SAY IS I KNOW A SMALL FRACTION OF HOW WE BREAK JESUS' HEART EVERY DAY AND HE ALLOWS US TO DO IT, BECAUSE HE LOVES US THAT MUCH...OUR FATHER IS NOT PLEASED...JESUS HAS HOPE FOR US THAT OUR FATHER DOES NOT SHARE...WE ARE TRYING TO KILL OUR MOTHER EARTH AND EACH OTHER, WHICH IS NOT WHAT JESUS SHOWD US WITH HIS LIFE...THERE WILL STILL BE FULL ROOMS IN HEAVEN WHEN THE THE TIME COMES...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW HOWEVER...I REMEMBER SO CLEARLY THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE TOLD MY DAUGHTER SHE COUDN'T AND WOULD NEVER FLY...WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND JOY WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN AND IN ONE SENTENCE CHRYSTAL KNEW ABOUT DOUBT...WE WILL NEVER KNOW IF SHE WOULD HAVE GROW WINGGS OR WHATEVER...MY BIBLE SAYS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE...JESUS ALSO TOLD US WITH THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED WE COULD MOVE MOUNTAINS...PETER WALKED ON WATER...MOSES PARTED THE RED SEA...JESUS CANNOT MAKE YOU BELIEVE...I BELIEVE AND HAVE PERSONALLY WITNESSED THINGS THAT HAVE MADE IT SO I NO LONGER KNOW HOW NOT TO BELIEVE...JESUS IS A LIVING LOVING GOD...ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD OR JUST TRYING TO BELIEVE...THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN BEING ONE OF GODS KIDS...FOR ME THE WORST IS KNOWING JESUS AND, LIKE HIM, HAVING TO TO JUST ALLOW THINGS TOHAPPEN THAT BREAK MY HEART...IT IS LIKE LOOKING IN A MIRROR...I CAN SEE ALL THE THINGS I DID THAT JESUS ALLOWED SO I COULD LEARN AND UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS THE WILL AND PLAN OF GOD...HURTS THOUGH...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE...

When Jesus went up to heaven He left His Spirit in all our hearts...Believers know that when Jesus is in our heart, Christmas is our birthday too...I find it interesting that some people do not want me to celebrate my Re-Birthday, and spend millions on "Sweet 16 Parties", with an avalanche of gifts that exclude any spiritual or moralistic values...I could go off and running now, but wanting to be the right person for God, I realize I digress...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...PEACE ON EARTH...GOOD WILL TOWARDS ALL...

Pleasing the Lord
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. John 3:21-23 NIV Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:9,10 NASB For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 Peter 2:19-21 RSV Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him

Other Notable Events, January 16
In 1883, the U.S. Congress passed a bill creating the civil service. In 1919, the United States went legally "dry" as prohibition of alcoholic beverages took effect under the 18th amendment to the Constitution. The amendment was repealed in 1933. In 1925, Leon Trotsky was dismissed as chairman of the Russian Revolution Military Council. In 1942, screen star Carole Lombard, her mother and 20 other people were killed in a plane crash near Las Vegas. Lombard was the wife of actor Clark Gable. In 1944, U.S. Army Gen. Dwight Eisenhower arrived in London to assume command of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe. In 1984, U.S. President Ronald Reagan called for "peaceful competition" with Moscow. He authorized research and development on space-age weapons capable of destroying incoming nuclear missiles, the program known as "Star Wars."

Classic Quotes by Susan Sontag (1933-2004) US writer and critic, January 16
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
A fiction about soft or easy deaths is part of the mythology of most diseases that are not considered shameful or demeaning. A large part of the popularity and persuasiveness of psychology comes from its being a sublimated spiritualism: a secular, ostensibly scientific way of affirming the primacy of "spirit" over matter. AIDS obliges people to think of sex as having, possibly, the direst consequences: suicide. Or murder. AIDS occupies such a large part in our awareness because of what it has been taken to represent. It seems the very model of all the catastrophes privileged populations feel await them. Although none of the rules for becoming more alive is valid, it is healthy to keep on formulating them. Ambition, if it feeds at all, does so on the ambition of others. Any critic is entitled to wrong judgments, of course. But certain lapses of judgment indicate the radical failure of an entire sensibility. Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance. "Camp" is a vision of the world in terms of style - but a particular style. It is the love of the exaggerated.

Bible Verses for Tuesday December 2, 2008

Confidence in Him

May those who fear you turn to me, those who understand your statutes. May my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be put to shame. My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word. Psalm 119:79-81 NIV

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:11 KJV

For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:12 NASB

He will keep you strong right up to the end, and he will keep you free from all blame on the great day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:8,9 NLT

HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO KNOW THERE IS SOMEONE WHO LOVES US ALWAYS, NO MATTER WHAT... WHAT A GLORIOUS THING TO WAKE UP AND KNOW WE ARE NOT ALONE IN OUR JOURNEY...OUR SALVATION IS SECURE AND OUR FORGIVENESS COMPLETE...PRAIS THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS FOREVER...DAVE...TBOD...

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; The Only Faith That Saves is Faith in Him.

Classic Quotes by Alexander Haig (1924- ) US general, secretary of state

"That's not a lie, it's a terminological inexactitude. Also, a tactical misrepresentation."

"Practice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare to the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher level."

"The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood."

"As of now, I am in control here in the White House."

"I probably carry more scar tissue on my derriere than any other candidate- that's political scar tissue."

"I'm the only American alive or dead who presided unhappily over the removal of a vice president and a president."

GIVE THANKX FOR THE TRUTH...

LIES WILL CHANGE WITH THE WINDS OF FEAR...THE TRUTH CAN BE NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH...

WE ONLY USE A SMALL PART OF OUR BRAIN ON A CONSCIOUS LEVEL...OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS A STOREHOUSE OF EVERYTHING WE SEE, FEEL, HEAR, SMELL, TASTE AND IMAGINE...I BELIEVE IT CAN SEPARATE AND FILE OUR KNOWLEDGE INTO SPECIFIC COMPARTMENTS, SUCH AS BELIEFS, NON BELIEFS, TRUTH, LIES, AND UNDECIDED...EACH SECTION IS IN CONSTANT CHANGE EXCEPT TRUTH...THE TRUTH CANNOT CHANGE...THAT IS WHY BELIEVERS RECEIVE GREAT COMFORT FROM THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD AND THE TRUTH OF JESUS...TRUTH STANDS UNMOVED BY ANYTHING IT ENCOUNTERS...IT IS WRITTEN, GOD IS TRUTH AND IF GOD IS FOR YOU WHO CAN STAND AGAINST YOU...NO ONE...MANY REMAIN IN FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY UNTIL THEY REALIZE THE TRUTH OF TOTAL SUBMISSION TO THE ONE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THINGS...GOD'S MIGHT AND POWER WILL NOT BE OVERCOME...HIS LOVE AND GRACE CANNOT BE MATCHED EITHER...WHEN WE KNOW THE TRUTH AND SUBMIT TO GOD'S WILL IN ALL THINGS, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY...WE ARE FREE AT LAST...LIVE, LOVE, AND LAUGH IN THE TRUTH...FAITH IS FUN...JUST ASK JESUS...DAVE...TBOD...

Bible Verses Thursday November 27, 2008

Always Giving Thanks!
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 NIV

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Ephesians 5:3-5 KJV Help: Romans 12:21, John 16:33

Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
Ephesians 5:19-21 NASB

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him.


Classic Quotes by Bruce Lee (1940-1965) Martial artist, actor
"Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!"
"Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential."
"I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine."
"If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."
"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable."
"Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system."
"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind."
